Unless you're lucky enough to have a south-facing backyard, it's likely you try to make the most of however much sun comes into your garden. That's why it can be annoying when your neighbor's tree is blocking sunlight from your yard, limiting exposure to your plants and the warmth for you to enjoy in your outdoor space.
You shouldn't be too quick to cut back your neighbor's tree, however. Just like pruning your neighbor's tree that is hanging over your yard, there are some important legal regulations you need to take into consideration. Failing to comply could leave you in a sticky legal situation, costing you a fine or a more serious consequence.
